Re:  Charity Navigator Rating

We have just been informed by Charity Navigator that we have once again been awarded a 4-star rating, which is the highest rating possible.

Charity Navigator is America’s premier charity evaluator.  They highlight the work of efficient charities and provide donors with essential information needed to give them greater confidence in the charitable choices they make.

Ken Berger, President and CEO, wrote the following about JDC:  “Receiving four out of a possible four stars indicates that your organization adheres to good governance and other best practices that minimize the chance of unethical activities and consistently executes its mission in a fiscally responsible way.  Only 15% of the charities we rate have received at least 2 consecutive 4-star evaluations, indicating that American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee outperforms most other charities in America.”

We know you share our pride in their faith not simply in what we do, but also how we do it.
